Ich bin müde
I totally overdid it today. Ended up with heatcramps, which eas fun while working on the carts the last hour and riding my last horse.
A wheel on! I had to look up how to put the bearings on properly. They hadn't called me back so I left another message.
Two wheels!
Seat! I got the other seats on, but had trouble with some of the screws not wanting to go all the way through so I might have to back them out and do a guide hole with a drill bit. It was obnoxious and I started cramping up and called it a day after I got the other two seats on.
Vertig!
I also noticed some muscle tremors and I know I really pushed it. There was some cloud cover at the end, which was much nicer. Mindi and Jacob helped me load the cart and I wasn't as useful as I know I could have been, but we got it in and Chris helped me unload it.
Chris suggested just bringing the other carts to the house with the horse trailer tomorrow so I can work under shade and with a fan more at my leisure.
The grand plan was throw the carts together and just walk them down to their destination, but this is taking too long and I don't want to overstay my welcome at the C's house with cart parts everywhere.
Next time I'm going to just load the pallet on the truck and take it home to break down and build.
Today I worked:
Ardberg the Shire colt
Zeke with student on Tru-D
I rode Zeke again during the secobd lesson Tru-D and Chewy for the students
Napoleon was next, false shafts
Kiirin for halter training
Johnny in-hand walked about two miles or so at a pretty good clip
Then I spent like three or four hours putting carts together.
I wasn't hungry, but ate some sausage and butternut squash for lunch at like 4pm, laid down for a bit, played taps flat on my back because it amused me and I was helping Tristan with the trumpet while taking a breather.
I finished out riding April with Heidi, Jason, and Sarah. I seriously considered canceling, and I probably should have because my left hand cramped up pretty good and my legs also got a bit crampy, especially if I had to actually squeeze. I'm glad I had the whip. I had a cramp on the front of my shin, which was a new experience.
So hopefully I have rehydrated and enjoyed my sweet potato curry and half a banana and a bunch of cashews.
Tomorrow should be less taxing, I hope.
I can't belive I didn't have a tag for Johnny
